Most mornings those of us that are both fashion inclined but work in a corporate
environment, struggle with how to combine the two aspects to our satisfaction.
Here are some tips on staying stylish while maintaining the business casual status quo.
1. During summer months stick to lighter fabrics like cotton and linen that won’t
trap heat and allow you to move easily and comfortably during your work day.
2. Air conditioning can be a bit unpredictable, so keeping a bright cardigan or pretty
one button jacket on hand will keep you prepared for cooler days.
3. Keep it conservative but keep it colorful. Using a pretty print on top or bottom allows
a bit of your creativity to shine through while keeping you within the dress code.
A4. Accessorize with feminine yet fun pieces and elements like ladylike bags, hair
accessories pretty frills, bow details and of course, lots of statement necklaces.
5. Silky shells, shirt-dresses in personality suited prints and tapered trousers are all elements you can incorporate to provide some variance in your outfits.
What are some of your go-to work outfits?
If you don’t work in an office what is your day-to-day
at home fashionable prerogative?

July 31, 2012I like this post idea and tips. I work in an office setting and dressing my style has become an issue because no one ever dresses up so when I do its like 'whats the occasion?" Lol. I spend most of my days at work everyday, so dressing comfortably and in a way that suits my style is important while maintaining that work balance. Xo, Jewel

August 1, 2012I always dress up and my friend confide in me with the fact that they want to too but feel since it's not typical for them – they don't want to have to fend of inquiries regarding why they're "So dressed up." Well put Jewel π

July 31, 2012Great tips! Hard to stay cool in the summer months especially with the hot and cold of going inside and out.
Georgina
August 1, 2012Agreed! I live SO close to my office that I like to walk/bike most days to ensure I always get exercise but it's so hot in the morning and bikes/skirts/dresses don't mesh so it can be challenging in that way too π
